Hovering near its 52-week high today, consolidating above prior highs and its 50 DMA line. Recent quarters showed better sales and earnings increases versus the year earlier, but prior quarterly comparisons and annual earnings (A criteria) growth have not been strong and steady. Noted in prior mid-day reports - "Its fundamentals have remained below the guidelines of the investment system."

Hovering near its 52-week high after a small gap up today. Prior mid-day reports repeatedly noted - "Extended from any sound base after recent volume-driven gains. Recent quarterly comparisons show sales increases in the +33-36% range while it has been reporting earnings versus year ago losses. This low-priced Israeli Computer - Networking firm does not have a good annual earnings history (A criteria)."

Hit a new 52-week high today. Gains this week helped it quietly rise from a big cup-with-handle type base pattern formed since it was last noted in the 4/06/10 mid-day report. This Energy - Coal firm's prior earnings history (C and A criteria) has not been strong and steady enough to satisfy the fundamental guidelines of the fact-based investment system.

Gapped up again today hitting another new 52-week high and rallying further above its 2008 high ($33.60). Prior mid-day reports repeatedly noted - "Recent quarters show sales and earnings improving but prior history is below the fact-based system's guidelines." Quarterly and annual earnings results include blue triangles beside the reported earnings figures - the blue triangles are symbols indicating that pre-tax, non-recurring items were included (where possible, such items are normally removed to provide data better suited for comparison).

Gains this week with above average volume have extended its winning streak of repeated new 52-week highs. Prior mid-day reports noted - "Recent quarters show sales and earnings improving but prior history is below the fact-based system's guidelines. It steadily advanced throughout this year, building orderly base-on-base type patterns, and recently broke out above its 2008 high. Low-priced stocks are riskier choices, and its 'late stage' breakout on Friday came from another short consolidation, not a sound looking base."

Reversed into the red after early gains today for a new 52-week high following 2 consecutive volume-driven gains above prior chart resistance. Recent quarters show improving sales and earnings but its prior quarterly and annual earnings (A criteria) history has been poor and below guidelines of the fact-based system. Leadership (L criteria) in the semiconductor group had helped it reach its old high when last noted in the 4/27/10 mid-day report following a breakout above prior chart resistance near $14.

Perched near its 52-week high today. A 12/10/10 technical breakout helped it clear the high hit when last noted in the 10/11/10 mid-day report - "Having built another long base since last noted on 4/12/10 in the mid-day report after rising from an orderly 10-month flat base with multiple gains backed by above average volume - 'Sales and earning history are below the investment system's guidelines.'"

Gapped up today, rising back above its 50 DMA line while building on a 10 week flat base. Recent quarter ended September 30, 2010 showed better sales and earnings increases versus the year earlier, but prior quarterly comparisons and annual earnings (A criteria) growth have not been strong and steady enough to meet the investment system guidelines. Long-ago it was a Featured Stock with favorable characteristics, and it was last noted in the mid-day report on 1/09/06.

Consolidating above its 50 DMA line after spiking to new all-time highs since it was last noted in the 11/19/10 mid-day report - "Only had 4 down sessions in the past 29 trading days and hit new 52-week and new multi-year highs with a considerable gain today. No overhead supply remains to act as resistance. Recent quarters showed improving sales and earnings but its prior quarterly and annual earnings history has been below guidelines of the fact-based system."

Up today for another new 52-week high following a solid gain on the prior session for a technical breakout from a 7-week flat base. The 10/08/10 mid-day report noted - "Improving sales revenues growth and solid earnings increases in the 3 latest quarterly financial reports are reassuring signs, but its erratic annual earnings (A criteria) history is a cause for concern, fundamentally."

Down today on higher volume indicative of distributional pressure, pulling back toward its 50 DMA line from all-time highs. It had rallied higher with no resistance remaining due to overhead supply after the 11/17/10 mid-day report last noted - "Its annual earnings results showed a small downturn in '07, which is a minor flaw concerning the A criteria which calls for 3-5 years of steady earnings growth. Quarterly sales revenues and earnings increases are not solidly meeting the guidelines with respect to the C criteria. The stock is somewhat heavily owned (percentage-wise) by funds relative to its management's small 6% reported ownership. Top-rated funds owning an interest decreased from 605 in Mar '09 to 585 in Sep '10, which is not good news concerning the I criteria (NOTE: Prior notes on this and other stocks cited top-rated US funds, and now our source is including foreign funds and hedge funds in their totals reported)."

Rallying toward its 52-week high today after volume-driven gains this week helped it break out from a cup-with-handle type pattern. Recent quarters showed better sales and earnings increases versus the year earlier, but prior quarterly comparisons and annual earnings (A criteria) growth have not been strong and steady. Fundamentals are below the guidelines of the fact-based investment system.
